Nine hundred and twentieth chapters search for enemy chiefs
Twenty thousand troops surrounded the Wei Palace, and five hundred dead soldiers gathered inside the gate and on the walls on both sides, using crossbows and arrows to compete with the Jin troops outside.
At this time, Guo Song also arrived at the palace. He saw corpses on the ground in front of the palace gate, many of them Jin soldiers. Other enemy soldiers who died in battle were all wearing white robes. He frowned and asked: "They
Who is he?"
Scout Lang Zhou Fei stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, they are the five hundred dead soldiers left by Tian Chengsi. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and will not surrender in a deadly fight. They can kill all of them, but we will also suffer huge casualties.
.”
Guo Song said coldly: "Throw in thirty small iron fire thunders and see how long they can be arrogant?"
Immediately, soldiers held high shields to cover the thirty mine throwers from the firearms battalion. The mine throwers were all specially selected. They were all tall and powerful, and could throw an iron ball weighing thirty to forty pounds for more than twenty seconds.
Step far.
The thunderbolt thrower gradually approached the palace gate and threw iron fire thunders into the dense crowd inside the gate one after another.
A series of violent explosions were heard, mixed with screams. The gate was blown open, and the sentry towers and walls on both sides collapsed. When the smoke cleared, Zhou Fei led 300 scouts and entered the palace first.
The open space inside the gate was a mess, with broken limbs and corpses blown to pieces everywhere. Although hundreds of dead soldiers were seriously injured, they were not dead yet. They struggled to get up to fight the Jin soldiers.
Zhou Fei suddenly remembered the men who were poisoned by Tian Xu, and his chest was full of rage. He chopped off a human head with his knife and shouted: "Kill them all!"
The scout soldiers rushed forward and killed all the injured and undead soldiers in white clothes. The passage to attack the Wei Palace was completely opened, and thousands of soldiers entered...
When it was getting dark, the battle finally ended. All the two thousand soldiers who guarded the palace of Wei were killed. The remaining ones were the maids, eunuchs and some wives and concubines who were not favored by Tian Xu.
But Tian Xu was nowhere to be found. Zhou Fei led his men to search everywhere. At this time, a group of palace maids were escorted out by Jin soldiers. Zhou Fei suddenly recognized one of the palace maids as a fellow countryman. He stepped forward and said: "Youzi, you
Do you still know me?"
"Who are you....."
The palace maid suddenly recognized Zhou Fei and was shocked and said: "You are General Zhou? You... aren't you dead?"
"It's hard to explain. I want to know where the Tian Xu dog thief is? Tell me."
The palace maid was a little scared in front of everyone, but she finally mustered up the courage to say to Zhou Fei: "I saw a dozen people escorting King Wei to the kitchen. There is a dry well over there. I heard that there is a famous hall in it."
Zhou Fei was overjoyed and ordered his soldiers: "Don't embarrass these palace ladies, they were all captured and taken into the palace."
Zhou Fei led dozens of his men and ran towards the kitchen. There was no one in the kitchen. The soldiers searched them all but found nothing.
A well in the yard attracted Zhou Fei's attention. He stepped forward and took a closer look. There was no water below, so it was probably a dry well. At this time, he accidentally discovered that the pulley on the well was actually made of pig iron, and the rope on it was also extremely thick.
Fei sneered. How could there be such a well? It was simply trying to hide it.
He ordered the soldiers to put a torch down. The tail of the torch was tied with a rope, and the burning head was slowly lowered. When it was halfway down, the flame suddenly floated to the east, and there was a hole in the wall of the well below.
At this time, a large group of soldiers came over surrounded by Jin King Guo Song. Guo Song asked: "What did you find?"
Zhou Fei quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, there is a hole in the wall of the well, leading to the east. I suspect it is a secret passage leading to the outside."
There were all troops outside, and even if it was a passage, Tian Xu didn't dare to come out for a while.
Guo Song pondered for a while and said: "Light the pine branches and smoke, and General Zhou will go outside to find an exit."
"Follow the order!"
Zhou Fei led his men and ran outside...
The well was filled with pine branches, and the soldiers poured kerosene on it. A soldier dropped a torch, and the well suddenly burst into flames and smoke billowed.
Zhou Fei led 300 men to look for the secret passage exit outside the palace wall. Outside the wall was a small river. The water was very shallow and the pebbles on the bottom of the river could be clearly seen. On the other side were residential buildings. Zhou Fei stood with a spear in his hand.
I looked around the riverside, not missing any patch of grass.
Of course, the secret passage only makes sense if it leads to the outside of the wall, and it should go in a straight line. Zhou Fei felt that his direction was correct, but where was the exit of the secret passage?
"General, there's smoke!" a soldier suddenly pointed at a house on the other side and shouted.
Zhou Fei also saw it, and saw faint green smoke coming from the roof of a room.
He immediately ordered: "Leave fifty brothers here to guard, the others follow me!"
He led more than two hundred soldiers across the river and ran towards the houses on the other side. In a moment, they surrounded the smoking house.
Zhou Fei winked at a strong subordinate, who took a few steps back, rushed forward, and kicked open the door fiercely.
At this time, a man in white clothes in the room raised a knife and struck at the soldier who was kicking the door. He was very fast, but Zhou Fei was faster, and the spear pierced the opponent's chest like lightning.
‘Crack!’ The sword fell to the ground, and the man in white was killed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shout in the room, and more than a dozen dead soldiers in white came out with swords. Among them was a yellow figure. Zhou Fei recognized it at a glance. The person in yellow robes in the middle was Tian Xu. Tian Xu’s pair of drunken eyes
The goldfish eyes are so eye-catching, they are simply his signature.
Although the dozen or so dead soldiers in white clothes were highly skilled in martial arts, ordinary soldiers were no match for them. Unfortunately, they encountered the most elite scouts of the Jin army, and there were as many as 250 of them. The scouts surrounded the opponent. In just a moment, more than a dozen of them
All the dead soldiers in white were killed, leaving only the helpless Tian Xu.
Although Tian Xu has been a martial arts student since he was a child, his body has been emptied by wine and sex, and he has become vulnerable. Zhou Fei snatched the sword from his hand, grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes, and sneered: "Tian Xu, do you still know me?
?”
"It's you!"
Only then did Tian Xu recognize Zhou Fei, and he quickly begged: "Zhou Lieutenant, seeing how I treated you so well in the past, please let me go! I am willing to tell you a treasure trove."
"Treat me well?"
Zhou Fei's eyes were red, "My fifty brothers worked hard for you, but you poisoned them to death. They were all tough men, but they cried and rolled before they died. They were extremely miserable. This is called treating me badly."
Thin?"
Having said this, Zhou Fei slowly raised his sword, and Tian Xu screamed: "Spare my life!"
Zhou Fei slowly put down his sword again, "You deserve to die, but I shouldn't be the one to kill you."
He threw Tian Xu to the ground and shouted: "Tied!"
The soldiers tied Tian Xu up like a rice dumpling.
The battle in the Palace of Wei has ended. Wang You led dozens of civilian officers and began to busy counting property and inventorying warehouses. Tian Chengsi was An Lushan's confidant, and the wealth he left behind was incalculable, second only to Zhu Tao.
In addition, Tian Chengsi felt guilty because he could not leave the vassal town to his sons, so he rewarded a dozen of his sons with a large amount of wealth, so that each son became as rich as the country, with hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland alone.
The fighting in the city also ended, all the mansions of Wei's dignitaries were sealed, and the men were imprisoned together, awaiting disposal.
Accompanied by Wang You, Guo Song inspected the warehouse of the Wei Palace. The warehouse was basically filled with pig iron, copper ingots and other strategic materials. The quantity was huge, but there were very few gold, silver, treasures and copper coins. This made Guo Song a little puzzled.
.
Wang You knew the reason very well and explained to Guo Song with a smile: "Your Highness, this is the national treasury, not a private treasury. Tian Yue distributed all the gold and silver treasures to his brothers, and the copper coins were awarded to the soldiers. He himself had almost no money.
The retention money is very simple. The private money of more than a dozen wives and concubines was brought from their parents' families, and Tian Yue gave them almost nothing as a reward? "
"What about the private treasury?" Guo Song asked again.
"Tian Yue does not have a private treasury, but Tian Xu does, but his private treasury is in his old residence, not here. I have sent someone to check it out, and I will give His Highness an inventory tomorrow at the latest."
Guo Song nodded, "Don't worry, clear out all the Tian family's wealth, and then list it all for me."
"I understand and will handle it as soon as possible."
At this time, someone reported, "Tian Xu was caught by General Zhou and is waiting outside."
Guo Song quickly walked out of the warehouse and saw a man kneeling in the yard, his hands tied behind his back, his face full of frustration.
"Is it him?" Guo Song asked.
Wang You nodded, "He is Tian Xu."
"It doesn't look amazing!"
Wang You sneered, "He looks ordinary, but his cruelty and viciousness are far beyond ordinary people."
Tian Xu understood who the other party was, kowtowed and begged: "Your Highness, please spare my life. Tian Xu is willing to be Your Highness's slave for the rest of his life!"
Guo Song said with a smile: "Slaves like you only consume food and have no effect at all. Your biggest effect is to allow me to win people's hearts. I will let Fu Lin's son kill him in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yuancheng."
Kill you, so that the people in the city and the 80,000 surrendered troops will be grateful to me, and their hearts will be filled with hearts. Is this a good suggestion?"
"You! Kill me!" Tian Xu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Guo Song waved his hand, and the soldiers blocked Tian Xu's mouth and took him down.
He immediately sent an order to Pei Xin: "Tian Chengsi's brothers, nephews, young and old, will all be killed and their property confiscated. Women can be spared and allowed to take their property home."
Pei Xin bowed and said: "I humble my duty and obey the order!"
